The semi-finals are confirmed at Players Championship 6 with a titanic tussle between Luke Humphries and Dirk van Duijvenbode set to headline after two contrasting displays.
Humphries saw off Ross Smith 6-4 with 'Smudger' averaging 106 but losing and hitting a 161 and missing the bull next leg for a 164 to send it all the way. While Van Duijvenbode who has a poor record against Michael van Gerwen denied MVG a first ProTour of the season once more in a 6-2 win.
In the other side of the draw, Ryan Searle will aim to add a second of the season, he faces Mike de Decker looking for his first overall.
